not sure what model it is just bought it

[twizted_ryder]

just bought it and not sure wat model ninja it is he told me 600 but im not sure these fairings belong to it... tried running vin but cant find a site to give me any info on it..





i like it better with out the front fairings just wish i could find a back that seperates the seats and gives kinda a point like the newer bikes





this is my first bike i ever owned, iv riden bikes but never owned one... wanted a project bike, also would appriciate some good sites to buy swingarms engines exhaust body parts..

[dhowton]

Ebay and craigslist can be your best friend. Deff looks like you have a project bike now though
Congratulations on the buy

[twizted_ryder]

ya but how do i find out what model it is like if its a zx or if its really a 600cc

[dhowton]

Also keep an eye on the classifieds here.

It should have that information on the title. You can also try googling kawasaki sportbike models and trying to find a pic that looks most liek yours. I will tell you now it isn't a zx, no offense not trying to be a jerk.

[dhowton]

Very good posibility that this is it though. Maybe not the exact year but a GPZ600R

It's a genuine Rat bike no matter the year or specific size.

that looks like the bike

[twizted_ryder]

how hard is it to swap an 1100cc engine

[KSon]

Looks like a nice project bike, hope you'll keep us all updated as you come along.

Isn't that a Honda Superdream 400 rear rim? iam sure it is. on a 600 bike :o

[twizted_ryder]

yup, he put it on there so i could load it on the trailer n get it home... only hd the the bike 3 days now.. wanna put a wanna put a zx1100 motor on it and do a different set of fairings and gas tank on it

[dhowton]

Not sure an 1100 motor will even fit on that frame the way it is. Although anything is possible with enough modifications

[Yellow_zx_6]

Would it not be cheaper in the long run to just by a good used 636 or something? Im not trying to be a jerk, it just sounds like a costly restoration. I fully restored an 89 Honda CB1 as my first bike. It sat outside unused for 10 years. I stripped it to the frame and just about replaced every part on it, including powder coating the frame. It cost me damn near 5k all said and done. But it was a fun project, so I can see the reward if that is what you are looking for.

[Beer4Blood]

def dont see an 1100 fitting in there at all unless you chop and weld the frame. just go with the original motor maybe bore it out a little bit and some cam work thatd be cool and plenty for your first one

[zzr lon]

looks like a gpx600 with a honda cbx550 rear wheel or vt500.

i have to ask?

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO FIX THAT!!!! LOL

[Samsquanch]

I'm not at all against fixing the old bikes up, that's all I ever have done. But that isn't a bike. It's only half there! What you need to make that thing feasable is a crashed bike to transfer parts from. You might just find one for cheap, and have everything you need in one shot. That is getting old tho, and parts bikes are going to be hard to come by.

[Black Sunshine]

Hey bro, what you got there is an 85-88 GPX 600R. I'm thinking the 85-86 more so then the 87-88 just from the pics. Best of luck with your restoration, they can look pretty cool when they are intact. Here's a photo for you to work off of...

[02bbcummins]

u paid money for that!?!?! lol. im jk. u oughta build a sick ass motor, stretch it and use it as a drag bike. thats what i would do
